Thank you man, I wish more videos gave us more details like this. I am considering buying this camera for scuba diving and I appreciate your honest opinions.

Hi, great review thanks, I really enjoy viewing your reviews, I've just picked up a TG-5. I'm a travel/landcape photographer and I usually take a second OM-D body with me as a backup but I got the TG-5 to reduce weight so that I can travel lighter and it is a very valuable addition, not only as a backup but also it's a great pocket sized camera to take out and about at the end of the day in the evening after I've carried my gear around all day. Cheers, Leigh

Thanks for this product review. Very useful.

Hello from Atlanta Georgia I watched your video on the tg-5 you did it excellent presentation thank you so much for sharing this video you make me want to go buy one

I have a tg2 and it's a fantastic travel camera . The shape is the only thing I dont find very modern but it's still a great all round travel camera. The Macro mode is first class . You have a lot of control on how your photo is going to turn out. Good video and if you purchase a tg5 it's a very good choice.

Fantastic review !!

Would love to see more of your underwater footage or hear more info as this is why I am considering this camera. I am heading to mexico so plan to use it in the water mainly and around town.

Hi there, first, thank you for watching our video! I will try to put some footage in our website later but the fact is that they are very similar to what you saw in our video, just longer and slightly different angle. The camera performed well underwater and if you stick with the wide angle end, you can utilise the large, bright aperture at 2.0 and the video will seem more stable. I used the zoom to get to the fishes during this trip as I am rubbish in snorkelling so I didn't go deeper at all. As you zoom in, you lose light and the camera will push up the ISO so you get a more noisy video as a result. Around town, this is great as you can see some of my images here. I will also put some more in our website.

Ive owned this camera for a month now. I could agree that the AF, although works fine for stills may not always track video subjects properly. As for the tele end of the zoom, I did tripod tests against my full frame SLR with the kit Canon lens. The differences were noticeable in center of frame and edge, but not dramatically so, given the hugely larger sensor, double the pixels, and system price. I am happy with the tele performance and would suggest the reviewers criticism may relate to camera movement in his tests.

i love the colorful wall you are standing in front of!

Capacitive touch screens do not work under water. That is why the camera doesn't have that feature.

@@Red35Photography True, but then they'd need to put buttons to control the same things, which would result in a doubling up of the controls. I think they figured that just use the controls which allow it to be operated underwater and leave out the touch screen as a cost saving measure.

Good point about the locking accessory ring. My TG-4 does not have it, and it has fallen off a few times. I even lost one, at a cost of about $10. Oh, I see the TG-5 has the same cheap plastic buckle for the hand strap. I was walking one day and the buckle broke, and down went the camera, bouncing on the ground. Luckily it was a "tough camera" , so no damage. But you would think for a $400 camera, Olympus would make a better hand strap/buckle!

Very good review 👏👏👏

How is the audio quality? My previous experience with the Olympus Tough series has had a clicking or hammering sound with the video. I discovered it was from the auto focus hunting while filming. I was thinking of buying this camera and using manual focus to avoid the clicking, but you say you cannot adjust focus once shooting. Does the auto focus disrupt the sound on the TG5?

Thinking out loud...I am considering this camera and I like that your review comes from beating on it and I like you did it in Cuba. I’m ok with no touch screen, it doesn’t help when snorkeling or diving or just moving fast. I’m also ok with the lack of manual video focus, (though that is absurd!)...it’s not a video camera. Other than that, you hit every note for me. I’m into stills and unfortunately you didn’t spend one second talking about this cameras best feature...many outdoor action and camera blogs/vlogs say the macro is the best in almost any camera. Action is what this camera is known for and macro underwater, well...the pictures tell the story. There. I just convinced myself. Thanks!

Thats similar to what we older guys carried in the 69s? We also carried a small flash! My Minolta SRT 101 was smaller and was full frame? 28mm, 50mm and a 135mm!

I do as a photographer, I care less about resolution but overall image quality. Frankly, there's no mention in the manual saying a limit on 4K and I never really went over 5 mins (which is normally the limit for most compact 4K camera). I didn't notice it gets overheat though, it does use MP4 as video format and no AVCHD or flat LOG profiles. The 25mm PRO is a god send in humid environment and it performs nicely in Cuba. I love the street shots from it, though, with my twins with me, I actually used my 60mm macro as a tele more.

Hi there, thanks for watching! No, there's no AF-S option unfortunately. Only AF-C or Manual, hence my complaint. But when the day is bright, the camera probably uses a smaller aperture setting and the 'focus drifting' is not obvious due to the greater depth of field.

Touch screens don't work when wet. On waterproof phones the touch screen disables itself when wet as a result. Arguably Olympus could do the same here but it's plausible they avoided adding a touch screen altogether because they didnt want this seen as a weakness with the camera.

You ca also attach other accessories with the TG-5 and not the Tracker too!

I am not entirely convince by some of the comments and I've been using it for over a year now and it's been great.

I haven't had any problem for all the 'dipping' I had been doing. But all Olympus camera comes with 1-year warranty which if it develops a fault, which is unlikely, you can always get it fixed. I love this camera and it's still the best tough camera out on the market at the moment.

Go Pro is a dedicated action cam that's best for videos. TG-5 can do more and better in many ways, though it's larger and heavier yet, it's crush proof (Go Pro isn't). So it depends on what you need. If you want something versatile, takes great photos and good quality videos, then TG-5, if you need an action video camera with ultra wide look, Go Pro.

One issue not mentioned is there’s no protection for the front glass, the cameras promoted as tough & shown on beaches & in rivers. These environments have sand & as there’s no way of putting a protective filter then the glass can be scratched. Getting it repaired costs around £150. Saying you don’t have to worry about anything is misleading, on every camera I own there’s a filter to avoid this issue but non of the so called Olympus Tough cameras have a way of protecting the glass from accidents.

But if low light/night constitute a big part of your journey or things you want to photograph, then you need a bigger system. But other than that, TG is good.

Hi! Great video! I'm just a bit curious about underwater. Do you need to buy an underwater housing for it as well or will it manage underwater by it's own? Thanks in advance!

Hi Zixliq, thanks for watching! No, it camera can be used underwater up to 15m. You can get a housing for deeper dive! I’ve used it just as it is for my trip.

Ever tried using lens caps?

Hi Andrew, thanks for watching our video! No, I haven't used the lens cap because it's more cumbersome for me. I don't even use caps for my OM-D for the same reasons. Just make sure your bag is clean and free from debris then it's usually fine. But the new adaptor also allows you to use filters which is hardly sometimes (like ND and Polariser)

Picked up the camera based on your recommendation. Just getting started in photography and was looking for something more versatile than a GoPro or Sony fdr

Hi jimmy. Wich calera would you advice for a little girl of 7yo who want to do nicest pictures than with her v-tech toy camera ? She likes to take insects in picture, cats, flowers... I have on my side an em1 mk2 with 60mm for macro she tries to do the same 😁...

An old point and shoot such as a Nikon L29. It is cheap, fairly durable, lightweight and would produce much better pictures than a toy camera. Once she learns how to take care of a camera and to compose pictures she could upgrade to a newer point and shoot.

Battery life??????

@Red35Photography

Laszlo Bagi First thank you for watching and hope you like the review :) Battery life of this is ok for stills, about 250 shots or so, I never really count exactly because I was filming and taking photos most of the time. But when you film in 4K, it drains battery much quicker and you can see the battery gauge drops after 10 mins or so.

Beautiful package, wreck inside🚮

I got one a couple of days ago. The telephoto is perfectly sharp. Jimmy, your sample is defective.

Telephoto On My TG5 Is The Pits As Well

Take it as a comment from a production professional to another video professional. this camera has so many features and not covered in 16 minutes?. more like personal experience travel video than camera review. we all know how to shoot and basic focus things you pointed out. we want something more than sharp and soft that we all expect already from this class of camera.... your video is well edited, nice sound timing, but you are missing what audiences want from product review. review video is not a wedding video or commercial video. it doesn't have to be that pretty but it has to be that specific first because you are basically hold a piece of technology stuff on your hand.

Nice hat pendejo

You really should have picked another country! Good luck in life.

I had the TG4 (which I loved) and unfortunately fell on it and cracked the display panel so I bought the the TG5 - The BIGGEST PIECE OF CRAP ever!!! It is difficult to set settings quickly to capture something on the fly. There are too many dials and options to flip, dial and forward through to set the camera. The video option is not what I hoped for. My action and nature films are out of focus, the movement is broken up and it is impossible to see what you are filming or photographing with only a display panel. It really needs a viewfinder for strong daylight. And the zoom option is nothing like the TG4, and the images are of a lesser quality. Underwater filming has also declined. The camera will not focus on the whole scene and is constantly trying to focus so you have a movie that makes you want to vomit with all the motion going on. SO! you can fall on it and it is more durable. WHO CARES! Olympus does not back up their product and if you want to replace it because of an accident, you will need more coverage than it costs to replace the damn thing. I will never buy another Olympus ever again!

who cares what do you have in your gay bag, are you gonna review the camera or what?
